Over a run of days rather than a single one, a child makes up their mind to get away for ever. Trips to Amsterdam's great museum to see Puck, the dog in gallery 1.15, or sneaking off to the mill beyond the yellow house, will no longer do. Leo's family is a cold triangle of people who have fled from love, from their own gifts and from the damage of a stifled upbringing in rural Portugal, so escape feels almost like a family duty. Waiting on the other side is the Flood, oldest of myths, offering both the characters and the reader a chance to wash the world clean and begin again.
